Former Indian selector and wicketkeeper Saba Karim believes it was the right decision to appoint Rohit Sharma as the white ball skipper and continue with Virat Kohli as the Test skipper. The duo have been instrumental in India’s meteoric rise across formats in the past decade and Karim feels they have great understanding between them. With Rahul Dravid appointed as the head coach of the Indian team, Karim believes both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can open up and ask for help from the veteran. With two ICC events – the T20 World Cup and the 50-over World Cup in…

Taylor, the Colts’ second-year running back, has been the best running back in football for the second half of the season. He was overshadowed by Derrick Henry and a lower usage rate in the first half of the campaign, but since the Colts have given him the primary, do-it-all role in the offense, he has excelled. In fact, Taylor has performed so well that he is getting MVP…
